    "My Nurse"

    Orion81RN replied to Appleofmyeye's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with Wuzzie on this one. I certainly wouldn't get my panties in a twist over it, but there is a hint of paternalism to it when it is a male doctor. And like brownbook said, more has to be taken...

    Really Nervous about Everything. Should I reconsider nursing?

    Orion81RN replied to Kiroppi's topic in General Students

    I get that. But I'm hearing nurses saying it's "bad practice." No, it's not. Its just your preference. At first I was asking bc I thought maybe they knew something I

    Really Nervous about Everything. Should I reconsider nursing?

    Orion81RN replied to Kiroppi's topic in General Students

    Orion81RN replied to Kiroppi's topic in General Students

    What Is One’s Opinion If You See A Man Wearing a Dansko Shoes?

    Orion81RN replied to Ben_Dover's topic in General Nursing

    No, the opinion of you isn't about what shoes you wear. It's about you even asking it. Where your priorities are. Why it would bother you if anybody DID judge you
